Rafael Nieto (martial artist)[edit]

Six trivial mentions in Google News. Claim to fame is creation of Zen-Do, a non-notable form of karate that appears to be taught solely by Nieto. (When searching, do not confuse with Zen Do Kai.) Unreferenced stub tagged since 9/2007 w/o improvement. THF (talk) 13:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep can't judge the level of his championships or coaching on the basis of the limited info. there but that is a definite claim of notability; has garnered some attention [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. JJL (talk) 18:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

week delete - The sources need adding for the championships which would swing it but it needs a cleanup . The newspapers seem to be using him as a goto reference but none of them is about him. --Nate 14 81 11:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
